And while we're on the subject of pronunciation. The PA announcer, when the Pens take the ice before games, it sounds to me like he is saying "your Pittsburgh Panguins". Am I the only one who has noticed this, or is it just because I say "y'all" and you say "yinz"?

Lets Go Pens

The PA announcer is just terrible

Agreed. I don't like the way he announces "Ca-ros-by".

Get loud because here we go...Please welcome back your Pittsburgh Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanguins.

Based on where the Western PA accent is typically spoken, from the back of the tongue and into the throat, I think it's easy for a Western Pennsylvanian to say "CAWN-soul." I've also heard "cawn-SOUL."

Personally, I say "con-SALL" because "Consol" is short for "consolidated." Most Americans wouldn't say "CAWN-soul-idated" or "cawn-SOUL-idated." We'd say "cawn-SALL-idated." Also, I've lost about 99% of the W. PA accent, although you can still tell where I'm from when I say certain words like "conference" (we tend to say it much like Canadians do) and "mum." I also hear "con-SALL" in ads with "unaccented" mid-Atlantic American speech.

All this to say say...yeah, what Jopaz said. (I just saw her response! )
